Captain Anseau (died 1084)

Captain Anseau (died 1084) was a rebellious noble in the Duchy of Brittany who ruled the city of Rennes in Brittany, northwestern France. In 1084, the army of Robert of Normandy laid siege to Rennes and stormed the city after a two-year siege, and Anseau led his forces in a last-ditch effort to defend the city from the town square. Anseau was unhorsed by an English spearman and killed in the ensuing slaughter.
